Rum Festival UK, & Rosemullion Distillery’s Delicious Seasonal Picks

Autumn in Cornwall is doing its thing—damp mornings, misty afternoons, and evenings that practically beg for a blanket and something warming in your hands. Luckily for rum lovers, the Rum Festival UK is just around the corner, offering the perfect excuse to swap soggy walks for a little indulgence. With over 400 rums to taste, masterclasses to attend, and all the festive spirit you could wish for, it’s the ultimate playground for rum enthusiasts.

This year, the festival lands at the ILEC Conference Centre in Earls Court, London, on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th October 2025. Whether you’re a rum rookie or a seasoned sipper, it’s a chance to discover new favourites—and perhaps you’ll be able to swap the drizzle outside for some Caribbean inspired sunshine inside.

At Rosemullion Distillery, we’re bringing a little slice of Cornwall to the festival with some of our favourite autumnal rums. And if you can’t make it to London, don’t worry—you can host your very own mini festival at home.

🍂 Autumn in a Glass

Rosemullion rums are like a taste of autumn itself. Warm spices, subtle vanilla, and a hint of citrus curl around your palate like a cosy scarf, while rich molasses and golden caramel notes echo the turning leaves and mellow sunshine. Whether it’s the gentle sweetness of Honey Rum or the warming depth of Spiced Rum, every sip evokes foggy Cornish mornings, crackling fires, and the perfect companion for a damp, golden evening. It’s not just rum—it’s an invitation to slow down, savour the season, and make the most of autumn’s little pleasures.

🍁Our Autumnal Rum Line-Up

Here’s what’s warming hearts (and hands) at Rosemullion:

• Spiced Rum – Aromatic, warming, and ready to be sipped neat or stirred into cocktails that make chilly evenings feel like a hug.
• Honey Rum – Sweet, comforting, and perfect for a foggy Cornish afternoon (or any time you need a little sunshine in a glass).
• Dark Rum – Rich and full-bodied, it’s basically autumn in a bottle.
• Chocolate Rum – Because sometimes, we all deserve a little indulgence…with a kick.
• Gold Rum – Smooth, mellow, and effortlessly classy, like autumn sunlight breaking through the clouds.
• Navy Rum – Bold, robust, and ready to make stormy evenings feel like an adventure.

🍁 Host Your Own Rum Festival

Can’t make it to the Rum Festival UK? No problem. You can throw your own tasting right at home—think of it as a cozy rum rebellion against the drizzle:

• Pick 3–5 Rosemullion rums from the list above.
• Serve neat in tulip glasses so you can really sniff, swirl, and savour.
• Add seasonal nibbles: spiced nuts, dark chocolate, baked apples, or ginger biscuits.
• Mix simple cocktails: a Spiced Rum Old Fashioned or a Honey Rum Hot Toddy works wonders.
• Set the mood: blankets, candles, soft music—and a couple of friends who appreciate the finer things in life.

It’s fun, relaxed, and guaranteed to turn a damp evening into something memorable.

🍂 Why Autumn Loves Rum

There’s something about the smell of wet leaves, the chill in the air, and the low light of autumn evenings that makes rum taste even better. Whether you’re sipping Spiced Rum by the fire, enjoying Honey Rum neat, or stirring up a warming Dark Rum punch, Rosemullion rums bring comfort, sophistication, and a little sparkle to every glass.

So, whether you’re heading to the festival in London, to savour the excitements, fun and sounds of enthusiasts enjoying rum, or having the fun of organising your own tasting at home, embrace the season with a glass of your favourite rum. Cheers to cosy corners, crisp evenings, and just a hint of indulgence.

Best wishes from the Rosemullion team.
